QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
President Mathias asked if there were any questions from the audience.
Tim Moore and Alex Dao, students at Kilmer School, presented a petition asking
for a 4-way stop at the intersection of Patton and Hawthorn; Tim Moore then read
a statement detailing the near-accidents at that intersection; the three reasons
they want that action to take place are:
• Near fatal accidents have occurred
• More accidents will occur
• Make Buffalo Grove residents feel safer
Trustee Reid stated that the students have a valid point; since Hawthorn now goes
all the way through, it has become a cut-through for traffic.
Trustee Kahn thanked the boys for bringing this situation to the attention of the
Board.
President Mathias stated that staff will follow through on this request and be
in touch with Tim Moore and Alex Dao.
